Professional shelf installation - shelves fitted level with the right fixings for your wall type. Secure, neat, holds what you need it to hold.
Properly Fixed Shelves
A shelf that's not level looks wrong. A shelf that pulls out of the wall is dangerous. Proper installation means level, secure, and rated for the weight you're putting on it.
📚 Fit once, fit right. Badly fitted shelves need redoing. We get it right first time.

Good to Know
> 🧱 **Wall type matters** - plasterboard needs special fixings (toggles or cavity fixings). Standard wall plugs just spin and pull out. We always check wall type first. **Fixing types:** - Solid wall: Standard plugs - Plasterboard on stud: Find studs, or use toggles - Dot-and-dab: Spring toggles through to brick - Cavity blocks: Resin fixings **Weight considerations:** - Books are heavy (allow 20kg per metre) - Floating shelves carry less - Bracket position matters - Wall type limits load
Frequently Asked Questions about Shelf installation in Crediton
Will shelves hold heavy items like books?
If fitted properly, yes. Weight capacity depends on wall type, fixings used, and shelf support. We match fixings to your wall and weight requirements.
What wall type do I have?
Older houses often have solid brick or block. Modern builds usually have plasterboard on studwork. Some have dot-and-dab plasterboard on brick. We check and use appropriate fixings.
Can you fit floating shelves?
Yes - floating shelves hide their brackets inside the shelf. They need solid fixing and careful levelling. We fit all types.
Do I need to buy the shelves first?
You can, or we can advise on what to get. If buying yourself, consider weight capacity and wall type.
